(Book 2) – Chapter 69
Asher jumped up with the biggest smile on his face. “Holy sh…crap! I am gonna be a daddy.” He exclaimed rushing over to me giving me the biggest k**s. “Thank you. I know you aren’t ready for this and I wish it was happening after the war but I love you more than life itself and it is the same with this baby. I don’t care if it isn’t mine by b***d because it is mine regardless.”
All of the guys agreed even Koda which surprised me a bit. It made me feel good that they felt this way about our little group and that these kiddos would be the luckiest with this many dads to help them with everything in life. I hated that I was so nervous about everything when it was me who had put the brakes on kids even if it was a good plan.
“This means you can’t lead the fight, of course.” Edgar stated as he kissed my forehead. “We will have to step up while you stay with the children.”
I started laughing at his statement. He must be nuts because they wouldn’t win the war that way and I wouldn’t even let that happen when I was the one who set in all in motion. I can’t hide behind others when it was me who wanted the revenge and me who pushed others out of their comfort zone to sacrifice lives.
“Yea…no. That won’t be happening.” I told them shrugging my shoulders. “Bonnie is reaching out to a witch friend to see about a protection spell for the baby and I will ask Melissa when I see her. This is my war and my fight so I will be there heading it off with you all by my side.”
“How selfish can you be? Why would you risk the babies lives just so you can revenge your parents when even they would be disappointed with that decision?” Blake growled out making sure to hit me where it hurts.
I waited a moment to see if any of them stood up to him for using my parents against me but it seems they all agreed. It hurt my feelings even though I understood why they were mad. It just sucked they didn’t try to discuss why I was sticking with my decision.
“I love all of you. I already love these babies.” I confessed tearfully. “This isn’t about revenge for my parents anymore. It is about a better future for us and our kids. It is about making sure that we win the war. I am the only one with these powers and the ability to make sure we win this time. I can’t and won’t let us lose this time around. If you can’t stand by me in that decision and help me keep them safe then I need you all to leave this room. I have more time stuck in this room healing my body and figuring our how this extra power works. I don’t need someone always on my case second guessing everything I do. It will just hurt our relationship, hurt my confidence, and make me resent you.” I looked at them all before pushing the button to have my bed lay down. I was tired and I wanted to have a good cry.
There was silence before the door opened and closed. Tears started to come faster knowing they all walked out of the room. No one stayed with us. They thought they were right and were going to stand by it which sucked. I was starting to wish I was mated to a girl or two so I would have someone on my side for once. Seven alpha males who wanted to be top dog and had been trained that a female was to be protected at all costs even if they could protect themselves. I hated and loved it at the same time.
‘Bon..nn..ie. Bonnie.’ I linked the Luna.
‘What’s wrong? Are you ok?’ She linked back worriedly. ‘Should I call the doctor to your room?’
‘No. Could you come and sit with me? My mates are against me in fighting and when given the choice to leave and stick to their guns or stay with me and just be there for the three of us they chose to leave.’
‘What the f**k is wrong with men? Just wait till I see them.’ She growled. ‘Be there in a jiffy with some snacks and I will have someone bring us a tv so we can watch something together.’
I thanked her and pulled the covers over my head to pretend like no one could see or hear me while I broke down. Blue was trying to comfort me even though she was pissed off at the guys. She mentioned that their wolves were fine with me fighting as long as we found every protection we could before it happened and that I kept them along with more guards around us while in the actual battle.
“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOUR MATE TOLD YOU SOMETHING SHE WAS ABSOLUTLY TERRIFIED OF TELLING YOU AND INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING HER IN ANY DECISION FOR HER f*****g BODY YOU DECIDED YOU KNEW BETTER AND CHOSE TO LEAVE HER ALONE?” Bonnie was screaming at the guys. I felt bad for them but I agreed with her. I know it wasn’t their fault for how they felt but we needed to work as a team. This was tearing us a part and proving that I was right in wanting to wait for a bit.
“Calm down, Mother.” Koda stated trying to make her feel better. “We told her we don’t want her fighting and she is determined to get herself killed.”
“ARE YOU f*****g SERIOUS? YOU WOULD RATHER TAKE THE ROAD THAT LEAVES HER FIGHTING ALONE ALMOST MAKING SURE SHE AND THE BABIES ARE INJURED INSTEAD OF HELPING HER FIGHT TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY?” Bonnie was not holding back. She would love my mother since they both knew how to make you feel poop.
“ABSOLUTELY f*****g STUPID. How about you all leave the hospital while I go in there and help YOUR MATE stop crying from the BROKEN HEART YOU CAUSED.”
I heard some grumbling when she opened the door but once it closed I heard nothing. I guess they all listened to her and left. I knew it was for the best since we all were hurting but it hurt even more that they listened to her and not me. Maybe I should have yelled at them.
“How are you, my sweet girl?” Bonnie asked as she pulled a char beside me. “The tv will be here shortly along with some food. I also spoke to the doctor and he said you could leave here tomorrow. I would love for you to stay by the Alpha and I until the guys get their heads out of their asses including my sons.”
I shoved my face farther into the pillow wishing I could burrow my head in so deep id never come out. I felt a hand grab mine but it was much too big for it to be Bonnie’s. Did she bring her husband? Then I felt the cover being pulled down and Koda’s scent filled the air. It made me cry harder.
“I am with you all the way. I love you, I love the babies, and I love our mating circle.” Koda confessed as his tears hit my cheeks after laid down beside me. “I am an a*s and I regret walking out. I was caught up in my emotions and I just followed the group. I regretted it as soon as the door closed and thank gosh my mother gave me a chance to make it up to you. I know the guys are going to feel the same way once they have thought it all the way through.”
I just nodded and cuddled into him as the tv was set up and a comedy was turned on. Chinese was delivered and I made sure to eat for three wolves. It was so good and made me feel so much better. Hopefully Koda was right.
